Deng Wanjun also couldn't cook. Before, they would eat in the courtyard before returning to their own home. During the time they came back early, they either ate at Deng's house in the military compound or ate with the employees in the store.
They had been together for so long and were very familiar with each other, so the employees were not so reserved. They greeted Liu Yanran, Liu Chunping and Cao Cuilan, and then continued to eat. Liu Yanran didn't want to disturb them, so she went to the private room upstairs.
Knowing that Deng Wanjun didn't know many people, Cao Cuilan introduced a few of them to her daughter-in-law. Deng Wanjun called them one by one obediently, and the elders also presented them with red envelopes, which they had prepared in their hometown.
Deng Wanjun accepted it generously, and then arranged to prepare the soup base for the employees who had finished eating. As for the side dishes for her family, they just ate whatever was available.
The weather is hot, so they haven't gone to the market to buy side dishes for the afternoon yet. They plan to buy them after they finish their meal. Usually, they will eat them during the employee lunch in the morning. Freshness is also an important factor in the continued popularity of Liuji Hotpot.
Deng Wanjun also gave everyone a popsicle to cool down and quench thirst in the hot weather. The children were of course very happy. Although the popsicles were not expensive, they were rare to eat.
Freezers and refrigerators are still rare nowadays. A household refrigerator costs hundreds of dollars, and a large freezer used in a store costs thousands of dollars.
Although living standards are getting better and better, many families can afford to buy refrigerators now, but everyone thinks they are expensive. It is better to put the money in the bank to feel at ease.
Wang Guihong looked at everything in front of her, feeling envious and jealous. They were all the old couple's sons, but how come the eldest son's family was doing so well? Not only did he have such a big house in Beijing (she didn't know how many houses he had, as she thought the others had bought their own houses), he also had such a big store. They were so rich!
But they were all family. As long as she held onto Liu Chuncheng tightly, wouldn't she also have a share in this wonderful life? Wang Guihong pondered inwardly as she ate a cream popsicle.
She hoped the old couple would agree to live in Beijing, so that she, as their daughter-in-law, could also benefit from it. Just thinking about it would make her happy.
PS: I feel like crying when I think about having to work for nine consecutive days!
